San Antonio, Texas (February 7, 2009) –
The Rollins softball team completed its five game series Saturday
as they beat Texas Women's University 9-1 in five innings. The Tars
ended their tournament run with a 4-1 record as the only blemish on
the record was against Abilene Christian.
Leading the way for the Tars were outfielders Rachael
Foster and Monica
Meadows as they combined to hit 4-for-6 and collecting five
RBIs. The Tars bats have been hot all tournament long as the team
combined to hit .500.
Rollins fell behind early as they gave up one run in the top
half of the first inning, as Tiffanie Brown reached base on a
single through the left side. Brown stole second base and
eventually scored on a single by Angie Arebalos.
The Tars started the scoring in the bottom half of the first
inning as Monica
Meadows drew a walk to reach first. Meadows then stole second
and came around to score as Christine
Roser singled to collect her eight RBI of the tournament.
The second inning saw the Tars post two more runs on the board
as Rachel
Almengual reached on a walk, and Morgan
Frost reached on a fielders choice. Frost and Almengual each
came around to score as Rachael
Foster would hit a single down the left field line.
Nicole
Anderson found her groove after giving up one run in the first
inning as she only allowed six hits in five innings of work.
Anderson improves to 3-0 on the season with a 1.11 ERA as she looks
to have a stellar senior season. The Tars posted five more runs in
third inning as Frost, Almengual, and Foster each collected an RBI.
The inning saw Monica
Meadows collect two RBIs as she singled through the left side
as Frost and Almengual came around to score.
The Tars came up in the bottom of the fifth inning needing one
more run to invoke the eight run rule and they got it as Rachel
Almengual reached on a walked. Missy
Thogmartin would do battle with Alli Packer and eventually
would single to bring home Almengual to end the game.
Next up for the Tars will be when Rollins hosts Flagler for a
doubleheader at 5 p.m. Fans be sure to check RollinsSports.com for
